“…Many comparison studies incorporate some characterization but aim ultimately to benchmark or compare journals with each other within a particular context, usually a field. Good examples are in nursing (Gagliardi et al, 2014) and information systems (Serenko and Jiao, 2012). Within the MOT area there has been strong interest in comparative studies, the following being some of the best known: (Linton and Thongpapanl, 2004;Linton, 2006;McMillan, 2008;Linton, 2011;Thongpapanl, 2012).…”

Established in 1970, R&D Management is today one of the leading journals of the technology and innovation management (TIM) field that spans the business and management subject areas. It publishes innovative research with high academic interest. This paper reviews the journal's history and the major contributions of its first 40 years, examines its present position in the context of TIM literature, and then looks at the factors which might affect the journal in the future. Descriptive and nonparametric bibliometric methods are used to examine the historic performance of the journal and the field, its current position, and the factors shaping future development.

“…Unlike the results of stated preferences from opinion surveys, or other forms of subjectivity, publication power is based on actual behaviors. Examples of studies adopting the power approach include those of Dees (), Holsapple (), Holsapple and O'Leary (), Holsapple and Lee‐Post (); Rokach (), Serenko and Jiao (), and Song (). Power measures involve the identification of an independently selected set of prominent researchers whose publishing behaviors are to be studied.…”

Understanding relative statures of channels for disseminating knowledge is of practical interest to both generators and consumers of knowledge flows. For generators, stature can influence attractiveness of alternative dissemination routes and deliberations of those who assess generator performance. For knowledge consumers, channel stature may influence knowledge content to which they are exposed. This study introduces a novel approach to conceptualizing and measuring stature of knowledge‐dissemination channels: the power‐impact (PI) technique. It is a flexible technique having 3 complementary variants, giving holistic insights about channel stature by accounting for both attraction of knowledge generators to a distribution channel and degree to which knowledge consumers choose to use a channel's knowledge content. Each PI variant is expressed in terms of multiple parameters, permitting customization of stature evaluation to suit its user's preferences. In the spirit of analytics, each PI variant is driven by objective evidence of actual behaviors. The PI technique is based on 2 building blocks: (a) power that channels have for attracting results of generators' knowledge work, and (b) impact that channel contents' exhibit on prospective recipients. Feasibility and functionality of the PI‐technique design are demonstrated by applying it to solve a problem of journal stature evaluation for the information‐systems discipline.

“…Publication power approach • Objective • Provides a multidimensional metric of journal importance (Holsapple & Lee-Post, 2010) • Allows establishing of national or regional journal rankings (Serenko & Jiao, 2011) • Sensitive to size and composition of the benchmark set. Thus, the benchmark set should be carefully selected (Holsapple, 2008) .…”

This study evaluates the utility of a Publication Power Approach (PPA) for assessing the quality of journals in the field of artificial intelligence. PPA is compared with the Thomson-Reuters Institute for Scientific Information (TR) five-year and two-year impact factors and with expert opinion. The ranking produced by the method under study is only partially correlated with citation-based measures (TR), but exhibits close agreement with expert survey rankings. A simple average of TR and power rankings results in a new ranking that is highly correlated with the expert survey rankings. This evidence suggests that power ranking can contribute to evaluating AI journals.
